Convid on the rise!!!!

We feel lucky to have had the childhood we did.....bikes, baseball, frisbees, skating, snowball/dirt clod fights, smushing fireflies on the sidewalk after dark, mosquitoes, "polish cannons", BB guns, black powder guns, the 22, on and on...it was just normal at the time. We did have a couple fat kids at school but it was kinda unusual.

Were you from IL?

Yes moved to Cali at 18 months But spent Summers in Illinois for a few with my Mom. At young age.

Freedom in a small town then.

And back to The San Gabriel Valley.

That *is* pretty funny...I swear to God, folks need to pull their mugs outta from in front of their computers and their glowing rectangles and actually *do* shit IRL instead of just watching/spectating/and jawboning!

I'm all for "being informed" but after about 30 minutes/day (tops!) of any of this you've seen everything you need to see and it's time to motate! Maybe it's different if you're in the gov't. and you need to bone up on the disaster du jour, but otherwise you're just fodder for the info-harvesting apparatus!

Ah, I kinda know where Plano is now. We grew up in Park Forest and then lived in the city for 4 or 5 years when I was in HS. My dad was in Naperville for a long time, then Kenosha WI, and now in Wheaton.

Now that I think about it, we might have run a track meet in Plano....not sure.

Was your CA childhood much different from your IL summers?

LoL Naperville was nothing LOL!!

But to us as we Grew They had the Best Mall.

We were in Po' Ville Plano recked house. Mom remarried and met a Farmer.

By that time I was 17 I returned. That is when I saw Naperville and the Mall so 77'/78'

And yea you could get in a lot more trouble in Cali than PoDunk...LOL!!

Remember The Plano Tackle boxes for Fishing??

Yep!!

Spent a few years in Aurora.

All My Family is there. In Yorkville and Sandwich.

Trust comes from Reciprocation?

Wow! If I recall correctly, some years after my mom and dad got divorced Dad met his (now) wife Sue, who had been living in Bolingbrook. I don't remember when they ended up in Naperville, but the whole area was sorta the western edge of suburbia-keep going and it was all farmland. It's really been built up since!

Having lived in CA for 40+ years, I can understand now how mom found suburban IL to be pretty boring....flat, yucky winters, maybe a little provincial compared to what she knew from CA. I feel lucky to have known both worlds actually, and I've always found it a little offensive when folks here refer to back there as "flyover country." There are lots of cool places all over.

Yep, Now think Carefully..........

Are you a "Bears Fan"??

[Incogneeto]

Wow! If I recall correctly, some years after my mom and dad got divorced Dad met his (now) wife Sue,

Ahem ... Was Her last name Hewitt?? pronounced Huuwitt?

[Brian]

Somehow we weren't really into football-baseball was the thing. We played Nerf football and everybody *wanted* to be Walter Payton, but that was about it for us.

We were Sox fans when we lived in the 'burbs, and then Cubs fans later on. Our Mom would let us ditch school and she'd skip work (Marshall Field's downtown) and we'd go to opening day at Wrigley Field. It was great!

[Brian]

I can't remember her maiden name actually....I believe it was Irish somehow.

[Incogneeto]

I took her to see "Saturday Night Fever"

I concur!

by chance, it could have been a coincidence

The Fauci Ouchi "saved far fewer lives than originally thought".

saving 299 people aged under 20
saving 1808 people between 20-30 globally.
"5,400 people needed the jab to save 1 life, but in the under-30's category that figure rose to 100,000 jabs"


SCAMDEMIC!

[Newbeeee™]

Official BS still says it saved millions.
One doc the other day defending made the statement "the good thing about myocarditus, is the data has shown that it's self righted quite quickly".
Errrr.... ISMDH
